Barraquer Needle Holder Curved 10.0 cm (4")

Delicate Curved Control for Fine Suturing

The Barraquer needle holder is a fine surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its extra delicate curved profile, smooth 7.5 mm jaws, and round handle support controlled handling where access, visibility, and gentle instrument contact matter. The 4 1/8-inch length provides a compact working format for precise manipulation in cardiovascular, general surgery, and ophthalmic workflows. Without a lock, the instrument allows the user to regulate jaw pressure directly through the handle, while the curved design can help align the working end with the operative field. Its delicate configuration is suited to tasks requiring careful needle placement and responsive handling.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide fine needles during delicate suturing tasks.
• Use the curved working end to approach suturing sites where instrument alignment and access are important.
• Support controlled needle handling in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Assist with precise suturing tasks in general surgery.
• Provide a compact needle-holding option for ophthalmic procedures and other fine-field work.

Care & Reprocessing

• Handle the delicate jaws carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help prevent deformation or surface damage.
